thing and if such

Irving Cobb and
Samuel Bly the
sees fit to bare
their soul in con
fidential articles
like howl got
skinny and how I
quit cocktails and
etc. why I guess It
is O. K. for a man
like I to tell the
story of how: I conquered my lady
Nicotine a specially aa It seems to
me like this subject must be of
greater gen. int." than the other .2 as
I believe they's more people wants
to quit smokeing than want! to get
thin or. dry. But in writeing this ar
tide I will half to raise the veil of
secrecy In regards to some of. my
most intimate details which I ask
the readers indnlgents in advance
for same. ' .
Well friends I did not begin smoke-1
ing till I was 9 yrs. old and kind of
went at it slow even, then as I had
been warned that smokeing would
stunt a person's growth and I might
say here that if that is true, why if I
had not of smoked at all I would now
be holding a lucrative position with
Ringling's circus.
Most men of 9 yrs. old that la
raised in small towns begins their
career of crime with a pipe load of
corn silk., but, I started right in at
the top with my father's cigars which
on acct. of him havelng a whole box
of them I did not think he would
miss a couple a day but he found It
out some way another and him and I
had a - meeting and I give in on a
couple minor points amongst which
was that . I would Quit smokeing if
he would quit acting that way. So I
lived pretty clean for 2 yrs. and then
begin again but this time it was cd
bebs and finely cigarettes which I
rolled my own .with a brand of to
bacco that is now out of print which
it was named Duke's Cameo and It
looked like it had been swept off the
barber shop floor and probably tast
ed the same.
Well it ain't my Intentions to bore
the reader with a history of the dif
ferent articles I smoked hut suffi
clent to say that by tne time I was
21 I was takeing 2 pr 3 .pills before
breakfast wile dureing the rest of
the day I didn't play no favorites but
Indulged .in home mades and ready
mades and pipes and cigars in what
ever order they come handy and no
body had to rack their brains to try
and think up what to give me for
xmas. '
Well S or 6 yrs. later I went to a
Dr. and asked him what was it and
h lt whooping cough which
it was on acct. of my palate being
too long and' kept tlcklelng me, so he
.nlnnnrJ off XL of n and for ll t
snipped off, or lt ana for all as I
I now ne has still got his 60 per cent
and I will furnisn his name and ad

f I
found out that I could cough just aa
good with only M a palate and I en
joyed myself that way for 6 or 7 yrs.
more aad then seen a throat special
ist and he says it was the tonsils so
I give them to him but kept the
cough. ' A few days after this opera
tion which I won't go into the de
tails of it the bird that had minist
ered the ether come to see me and
asked how many cigarettes did I
smoke a day and I told him SO and
he says it ain't none of my business
but if I was you I would quit before
I got the habit.
So at this time we bad a Dr. write
ing health articles for the paper and
he didn't charge nothing for advice
to fellow employes so I asked him If
they was anything that would help
a person quit smokeing and he says
to go to a drug store and buy some
gentian root and whenever I felt like
smokeing, to just chew a little of
that instead. Well friends maybe
some of you has tasted gentian root
but if you haven't I would advice
you to try it. It won't cure you
from the tobacco habit but it will fix
you so that your Mrs. can serve qui
nine for dessert and you will wonder
is she' has bought a bee.''
Well things went along till about a
yr. ago -whek a friend of mine that
had also whooped it up for several
yrs. said he had, found a kind of to
bacco that you could smoke as many
cigarettes' j ai" you wanted and not
cough your head off so I give it a
trial and Is was just like he said.
Well friends I would rather cough
my way through life than go around
looking so porous so I went back to
the ready - mades and stuck with
them till this last June when I got
the big ldear which was to not try
and quit smokeing entirely but to
cut out the cigarettes and smoke
nothing but cigars on the grounds
that you wouldn't smoke near so
much.
Like for Inst, you wouldn't be libel
to light one before breakfast or in
the middle of the night or dureing
meals or go out between acts at the
theatre and smoke one. and In fact
you wouldn't have time to smoke
more than 8 or 9 of them per day.
Wttereas 2 to 4 pills before breakfast
ain't nothing you might say and be
tween then and bed time you can
easy get away with 40 or 60 and
when you go to bed you don't no
sooner get to sleep than you wake
up and they won't nothing put you
.back to sleep .but another pill, till
it gets so as the night Is divided Into
24 shifts of 20 minutes each, whch
yoM sleep- one shift and smoke one
shift and vice versa.
So friends and readers I cut out
the cigarettes and have took up the
clears and that is all they Is to the
story of how I won my battle with the
lady Nicotine oniy x imgm aua mat
gime I didn't hardly cough at all but
gime I didn't hardl cough at all but
now I am hitting again on all 4 cyl
inders, and I don't wake up no more
in the night because in order to do
that it is first , necessary tot go to
sleep.
